What happens when Lillian smothers her daughters with vinegar & love? They cook up hilarious dreams & schemes to stop her from throwing their inheritance down the video poker machine. This tasty Cajun comedy has more twists & turns "than an alligator in a death roll." With food playing an important role, OKRA allows the audience to savor the smell of coffee, shrimp creole & gumbo cooked on stage. "Hot steamy nights, food from heaven & a mother from hell!"
“A big fat favorable hit!" New Orleans Times-Picayune
"Okra is long on charm, a crowd pleaser … down-home, crab boil-flavored knockabout." Gambit Weekly, New Orleans
"OKRA doesn't only make you see and hear its characters, we smell and sometimes taste them to." The San Francisco Chronicle
